I've been watching your HK video for years. I moved to New York with my family when I was eight years old in 1966. I have written an unpublished book about my childhood during this period. The story will add context to your photos, would you like me to send you a copy via email? Just for your enjoyment.

Thank you so much for loading up all those videos, they give so much joy to so many people.

Thanks for your offer but I do not see how your experiences in New York would add context to my photos of Holland and the Far East. Michael

I am wondering if there is a possibility I might contact you? I am a PhD student in Canada working on Japanese imagery. I have been searching for images of veterans in the post-war and the photo you took in front of the theater is very striking. I would love to have a better look as the only one I can find is the shot for the Fuji show.
Thank you for your time, and the wonderful films and photos,
Sara

Hi, Mr. Rogge!

Thank you for answering!

Actually I read a book called "The piano teacher: a novel", by Janice Y. K. Lee. I watched "Love is a many-splendored thing", and I have this DVD. Hong Kong used to be so beautiful...

Yes, there are a lot of people from Hong Kong here. Most of them come to work. But my family is not from Hong Kong or any other place of Asia. I'm a tipical brazilian girl (Europe, Africa and indigenous people, all in the same family). So yes, I know umbanda although I don't follow that religion. In my family there are people of different creeds. If you want to send some questions about religion, please e-mail me: anamenezes2005@yahoo.com.br

I'm going to look for the other videos of Rio de Janeiro, because I had found only one. Thanx again!

Hello, Mr. Hogge!

I read a book once that was about Hong Kong. Since then I started looking for images (and videos)that show how HK was. I wish I could find your book here in Brazil (I'm from Rio de Janeiro).

You're so luck for being able to register those golden years (50's)...

I'm following your Twitter profile. You're the best!

You may have read 'A many splendored thing' of Han Suyin. I think that there are a number of Hong Kong people in Brazil. By the way I have a number of clips on your country on YouTube. Last one on the surroundings of Rio right after WW2.And do you know the Umbando religion?

I really interested with your writing and would like to have some discussion or response. I will email you for the details. This is for my academic purposes. Thank You.

Dear Michael,

Greetings from Hong Kong.

The reason I am contacting you today is, I was visiting a hotel client the other day, which was the old Marine Police HQ, now converted into a luxury boutique hotel, and I mentioned your movie clips of Hong Kong from the 40's to 70's. I took it upon myself to share your youtube links and they would like to contact you directly.

Can you email me your details to julie.barrass@rhr.com.hk

Regards

Julie Barrass
